[tbnl-devel] file upload from windows, pathname?
Folks (or, anyway, Edi)-- When I upload a file, I get a structure something like: ("file" #P"/tmp/tbnl/tbnl-10" "Water Lillies.jpg" "image/jpeg") which is just fine. Documented, after all. And this works using firefox on both linux and windows. BUT, when I use IE on windows (where else), I get: ("file" #P"/tmp/tbnl/tbnl-10" "C:\\\\Documents and Settings\\\\All Users\\\\Documents\\\\Sample Pictures\\\Water lilies.jpg" "image/pjpeg") As you can imagine, this causes a slight bit of weirdness when I try to move the file from /tmp to my asset store. Amazingly, the pictures is copied. The name is a bit long. But in IE, at least, I can't "view" the picture as it translates to images/C:/Documents.... FWIW: images are served by apache, not TBNL. Easily fixable? Or should I just try for a regex to remove everything up to the last \ or /? --K {} ps. Interestingly, firefox on windows properly escapes the slashes so the image does get rendered.

Hey! I used the same test file... :)

There's nothing to fix, actually. The docs say "file-name (a string) is the file name sent by the browser" and that's what you see. "Fixing" this would mean to remove information.
Or should I just try for a regex to remove everything up to the last \ or /?
That's what I do. Cheers, Edi.

That's more a common web development problem with IE. Wrong Content-Type and a complete path instead of the filename. By the way: I've once seen a really stupid project management software which really saved the whole path, but not the file itself.

Although I do a lot of web development, I have to admit it's been years since I've done any sort of file upload stuff. I think PHP takes care of it, as did some Java class I used almost five years ago. I'll have to test with an IE upload and PHP when I get into the office a bit later, but I'm almost sure I tested with IE and the filename came through without the path. You guys would happen to have the relevant regex handy, would you? ;) Time to break out the regex coach. --K
